Clady out for the season (1 Viewer)

[swidman]

Clady was placed on IR today.

Lower some expectations in the Broncos passing game? Bump up Moreno?

Discuss.

Broncos starting LT was a TE two years ago.

 

[Ghost Rider]

HUGE loss for the Broncos.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

short passes to welker all day!

 

[Max Power]

I would think Thomas stays in to block a lot more now

or moreno goes to that side and chips/helps out

or they role some 2te sets and get dressen in there to block.

Huge loss, they signed Winston Justice today.

If they need to help out with a TE a healthy Dressen if a far better blocking option than Thomas.

It will certainly effect their personnel packages if they are forced to choose between Thomas and one of the WR's to get Dressen on the field.

More like 2 TE sets in max protection mode. Time to sell Welker high.

 

[Steeler]

I guess we can shut down that other thread asking if DEN should tank some game in purpose now.

I have included this news in the latest offensive line rankings. Denver drops 10+ spots. Chris Clark isn't bad but he's no Clady.

bump J. Thomas...checkdowns all day

 

[rickyg]

This news has me a little nervous. Perhaps time to sell high on manning??

What makes you think Thomas is running checkdown routes? I didn't see the 2nd game, but in the first game, he ran a number of deeper routes (deep ins, deep outs, & skinny post type routes). His YPC is exactly the same as Julio Jones, and I doubt anyone would consider him a "checkdown" type receiver.

He's talking about the TE not the WR. HTH.

This loss cannot be understated. Clady was a brick wall protecting Peyton and without him teams will likely get more pressure on Manning.

I would downgrade the Broncos passing game slightly and upgrade Moreno.

 

[Mile High]

Green and Dreessen

Agree. Green is a pretty good blocker as well. Will probably see a lot less of DT/JT/Welker/Decker all on the field at the same time.

?? You don't get points for blocking.

I know that. The J. Thomas part gave it away. The WR is averaging 21.3 YPC. HTH.

 

[B-Deep]

they've gone through a few o-linemen haven't they?

You get more when you're in the game every snap because you're the only back on the roster who can block, and when the offense runs the ball with you more often to protect the suddenly-vulnerable blindside of their franchise QB with the stapled-together neck.

 

[weebs]

Bump JT, he led the broncos in receptions during preseason w/o Clady in the mix.

 

[Nugget]

Can JT block? His blocking ability will have a dirrect correlation to his snap count and his opportunity.

 

[Buffaloes]

Broncos starting LT was a TE two years ago.

I' pretty sure he's been an OT since he entered the league. He played as an extra OL in heavy sets in the Tebow offence and lined up at TE at times.

Not that that matters, though. Matt Lepsis was a fantastic LT for Denver and he was a TE in college.

 

[Mile High]

He is ok. Green/Dreessen are better blockers.

 

[duaneok66]

Agree with those that hinted that this hurts J Thomas. Green and Dreesen are better blockers.
